Blues Wednesday – Elmore James,Jr. and Bob Margolin
Today I was out doing field work but on the way there I listened to B B King’s Bluesville on XM Radio to get some ideas for listening one of the first artists I heard this morning was Elmore James. I know James’ name more than his music but the track that I heard was good so I thought , hum maybe I’ll listen to some of his music when I get home! A little while later I heard John Lee Hooker’s son John Lee Hooker, Jr and again a good track. I thought maybe I’ll listen to his Live in Istanbul album. How about some Juniors both Elmore James and John Lee. Then came Bob Margolin again another name I’ve heard but haven’t listened to his music. Rounding out the trip there came The Fabulous Thunderbirds another group that I haven’t listened to and I don’t know why. I’ve listened to and like Kim Wilson’s solo albums and Jimmie Vaughn with Stevie Ray, but not the Thunderbirds, but again the track sounded good so I conclude my list James and Hooker Juniors, Bob Margolin and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.
